Finally, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi broke the secret and recently unveiled everything about its new in-house SoC, making it the fourth smartphone maker to develop its own SoCs.

The Mi 5c usher in a new era of Xiaomi smartphones with its own SoC, the S1 Surge.

Now, Xiaomi broke the secret and unveiled everything about its new SoC, making it the fourth smartphone maker to develop its own SoCs. It all started in October 2014, when Xiaomi started working hard on the idea of creating its own SoCs. More than two years later, in December of last year, they finally began to produce, and today they finally presented it inside a new smartphone known as Mi 5C.

Surge S1 is a 64-bit Octa-core SoC that runs at a maximum frequency of 2.2 GHz, as for the graphics, it has a GPU Mali-T860.Looking at the specification of the chipset below it doesn't seems to be a super processor but still Xioami should be credited a little for their effort being their first.But we were expecting more. 

Benchmark result indicate it to be somewhat between MediaTek P20 and Snapdragon 625, which can be found in smartphones such as UMi Plus E or Huawei Nova, respectively, considered as mid-range.

The first smartphone with Surge S1 will be Xioami Mi 5c. It will be ultra thin and very light, only 7.09 mm thick and weighs 132g, in a body completely constructed of metal.

The screen is 5.15″ inches with FullHD resolution (1080 x 1920 pixels) and where the Xioami highlights up to 2048 levels of ultra-precise brightness adjustment, a possible adjustment thanks to the Surge S1.

The device comes with 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. The battery, perhaps for its slim body, is only 2860 mAh. As we do not know the performance of Surge S1, we are left with the question of how it will behave in terms of autonomy, but Xiaomi guarantees a full day of use. It supports fast charging via the USB Type-C connection and is expected to be compatible with the most popular LTE frequencies worldwide. As for the cameras, the Mi 5c has an 8 MP front camera and a 12 MP rear with LED flash.


According to Xiaomi, the Mi 5c will be available in China from today, with the MIUI user interface already known in the colors like Golden Rose, Black and Gold for the price of 1,499 RMB, anything like $218 which will be around Rs.14,500.
